SASL Campaign - MOSKVA
7 January 2008, Double Deuce @ 12:33 pm

This is an SASL Historical Campaign recreating the 7th Guards Division’s part of the Soviet Winter Offensive against the German spearheads threatening Moscow in December 1941.

My command is the 2nd Company/1st Battalion/20th Guards Rifle Regiment/7th Guards Rifle Division which includes the following units;

  • x1 8-0 (Kapitan Demochev)
  • x1 7-0 (Starshiy Lejtenant Pronin)
  • x9 4-5-8
  • x1 2-4-8
  • x2 1-2-7
  • x1 HMG
  • x1 MMG
  • x5 LMG
  • x1 50mm MTR
  • x1 ATR

As you can tell we are short on leaders, a common thing when playing the Russians. But fortunately my squads are rated as ‘Elite’ for the campaign so that should give them a little more staying power under fire.

For this campaign there will be 5 weekly missions played using the following ‘Special Rules’.

  • All Company units are considered Elite and have Winter Camouflage.
  • No German units have Winter Camouflage.
  • All Missions are played in Snow Conditions.
  • FBE is East unless stated otherwise.

As I play each of the 5 missions I will start a new post for each of them with more details on the mission and an AAR with VASL screenshots. The missions for this campaign are;

  1. Enemy Offensive (9)
  2. Take the Highway (5)
  3. Pockets (2)
  4. Bunker Busting (4)
  5. Recon (3)
